gRub Tropical BBQ

"Enjoyed their ribs, potato salad, and banana bread yesterday. Outstanding meal. I‘ve had ribs in San Antonio, Kansas City, St Louis, Nashville, Charleston, and other notable places, but these may be the best. Meaty, tender, and fantastic taste. Better than anything in my home state of South Carolina."

"Love love love the ribs! Their sauce is NOT thick and sticky and overpowering. Server recommended cucumber salad and it was also delicious! Top it off with banana bread and presto. A delightful meal. Husband also reported willow wrap was very good! We’ll be back!"

"As a kid who grew up on BBQ I have to admit these are hands down the best spare ribs I’ve eaten in years. The cucumber salad and banana bread outstanding. And the service very attentive and above board. If ever in the area of this little out of the way jewel in the rough. Stop there, eat, go away satisfied and happy!"

"Stopped here for dinner and we all loved it. Very clean and super cute place. We had brisket and pork and loved both of them! The frose was also tasty!"
